For a while I had aspirations of publishing my theory and raking in cash, then be hailed as the intellectual leader of the known universe. It didn't take long for me to realize that this would be bad karma, and that I should propogate it merely for the sake of knowledge rather than personal gain so that it may succeed. One principle reason for this is that my theory is much like Watson and Crick's discovery of the double helix: my conclusions, while drastically different from anything else out there, were merely extrapolated from the work of many of my predecesors. I should not expect fortune to reward me for merely standing on the shoulders of giants.
My plan as of now is to collect constructive criticisms and strengthen the theory accordingly until I'm finally satisfied with a wholly reinvented thesis. At that point I'll probably make a website with all the tenants of the theory and put it up for free viewing by the public. I see my work as a remedy to a pandemic problem of faith, so it would be selfish and perhaps foolhardy for me to try to monopolize it.
One thing that I would like to publish are my memoirs, following in the footsteps of Augustine and Aquinas with their Confessions. The one thing I would like to impress upon the world is that my faith in Coeternalism is firmly rooted in the serendipity I've witnessed in my life. Of course, to make it interesting I should add at least another decade of hedonism and soul searching to it. Truthfully, what I read into my future from my past is that I will probably not live long enough to write such a book, much less see it published. But time will tell.
